Political Nervous Breakdown

Posted on 10/28/2020 6:15:15 PM PDT by redheadedshannon

I have been (for reasons not completely understood to me) regularly reading an absolute jackass Never Trumper columnist - Allahpundit over at Hot Air. He claims to be a conservative- but always appears to be rooting for the opposition. He despises Trump & routinely posts polls, surveys, articles & anecdotes about how Trump is losing disastrously this election. I've let this idiot crawl into my head. I had this same sort of feeling 4 years ago & posted a similar thread. What do you truly feel is likely to be the outcome of this election? Not your hopes or fantasies- just reality! I definitely need a pep talk 🤣

Trump in a landslide. Repeat it often.

I never watch the “news”. I never read a “newspaper”.

They may have fooled you but they will never fool me.

I am a proud uneducated deplorable chump.

The best thing I heard today was Rich Zeoli who pointed out that the way polls are conducted haven’t changed since 2016.

You need to step back from the edge.

All of this noise is meaningless.

Why give allahpundit the click?

Here’s the question I have:
Has Trump alienated any group of his base, to the point that they would not vote for him?
I believe the answer is no.
So given that, and assuming a strong turnout and no Dem mass cheating, he should win all the states he won last time.
If so, he’s got this.

Trump owns enthusiasm, who has already proven himself as a leader. Neither Biden nor Harris generate much at all. To normal people they both come off as crocks.

Barring election fraud on a massive scale he should win reelection

All we can do is make sure we all get out to vote. Don't let yourself to become overcome by negative thoughts. 8>)

By the way I have felt that Allahpundit is like the idiots in the Lincoln Project, nothing but rejects. I never give them the time or day, and thus I never listen to what they have to say, as they only have garbage to offer.

A suggestion -watch this (1st part - Robert Cahaly of Trafalgar polling - rest is good, too):

Ep. 1377 Interview With Rudy Giuliani & 2020 Election Special - The Dan Bongino Show
https://rumble.com/vatjtx-ep.-1377-interview-with-rudy-giuliani-and-2020-election-special-the-dan-bon.html

Then check Trafalgar (scroll down to see most current info):
https://www.thetrafalgargroup.org/

This info will at least be more “reasonable” than Allahpundit. I used to like him BEFORE Trump came along, but since then ... worthless.

Our own FReeper LS has good, upbeat articles about the election/voting on UncoverDC.com (I post articles for him on FR - if you want to be on the ping list, let me know)

Demonrats like to talk about how they are voting. It is safe for them to do so because Trump voters are not demonic and will not make fun of them, call them racist, or try to sabotage their career or personal property. Plus, Demonrats get praised for by other Demonrats for being virtuous and voting the correct way.

Demonrats are basically bullies.

Thus, in any given workplace where people may fall 50/50, or close to it, it may seem as if more people are voting Demonrat because the Demonrats are the only ones talking about who they are voting for.

Stop the chicken little crap

Trump will take every state he got in 16 plus most if not all states he lost by less than 5 and don’t be surprise if he takes a few he lost bye more than 5

330ish EC +/- 10

I definitely need a pep talk

Ok. I posted this on FR about 12 days ago:
Why Polls This Year Are Crap: A Continuing Saga

Take a little time to skim through the comments.
Then, check out the video link in there yourself.
This put a lot of other minds at ease.

I wonder if any of those folks are actually shy Trump voters but saying they are for Biden to go along to get along?

If you work with a bunch of unhinged leftist loons most people aren’t looking for a fight, especially at work.

Actually, the last GOP presidential candidate to win MN was Richard Nixon in 1972. Still, a long time ago.

Trump should get more Black, Latino and Asian voters vs 2016. He’s the incumbent and the enthusiasm level for him is high levels. Look at all the prayers offered up for his support. Look at all the Trump vehicle parades some huge and including blue states. We must work hard to the end and victory is ours.

I agree, it’s often outright dangerous to be a conservative in some environments.

Allahpundit is a NeverTrump asshole. Whatever the odds actually are of a Trump loss, you’re wasting your time reading that guy.

There are things in life that you can control or influence.
There are things in life that you can’t control or influence.

Determining the outcome of a national election isn’t one
that you can control. Your influence is limited to yourself
and maybe a few people around you.

Now you have two choices. Fret over what you can’t control or
turn to things you can control. By doing this you help yourself
and make people around you more pleasant.

Now the decision is yours to make.

This country has survived a civil war. If we can recover from that, we’ll recover from a criminal President, however bad he may be. And most likely Trump will win. Americans are good people. We persevere.

Look how much damage to the country Obama caused! These two will make him look like a kid!!! When they get done not one republican will ever win an election again! The Republic will be lost!!!

In 2016, it looked as if Clinton was going to win in a landslide. But there were actually a few indicators of Donald Trump’s possible victory that presented themselves. These did not intrude upon the public consciousness in a way which would render them obvious. But they were there if you looked for them.

The third debate was interesting. Instead of answering the Democrat talking point questions. Trump went into spiels about bringing industry back, factories back, jobs back. He was pitching to the Rust Belt. This obviously fit into a unified strategy.

Then there were the rallies. Donald Trump all by himself drew the kind of crowds Obama needed free concerts by big name bands to gather, while Clinton spoke to mainly small groups. The difference in enthusiasm was striking.

Trump survived the infamous grabbing tape where any normal Republican would have shriveled up and blown away like a tumbleweed.

Then there was Clinton’s health, with her taking days off down the stretch, and the coughing spells culminating in the Secret Service flinging her into the Scooby Van like a side of beef. That was the moment I knew Trump would win.

It was just yesterday that I started seeing glimmers of hope for Donald Trump, little signs of the dam breaking for Biden. It’s too early to say anything definitive, but if the trend continues Trump will most definitely win.

There has been only one time since the 1800’s in which a party won the WH election for only one term. That was in 1976 (Dim Carter followed Republican Nixon’s 1972 win, and was succeeded by Republican Reagan in 1980). So I believe Trump will win and make it two terms in a row at least for Republicans.
